Joseph Rowe (1854-1892)

1901 Census

Joseph Rowe born 1852 in Battlesden, Bedfordshire

2nd son of Samuel and Rebecca Rowe
Born: March 1852 in Battleseden
Baptised: 17th December 1854
Died: 1892 in the District of Bromley (cause of death unknown)

Census:
1861 - Joseph aged 6 years old and living at Row of Cottages No. 4
1871 - Joseph aged 17 years old, once again not sure of the address
1881 - ?
1891 - Joseph aged 36 years old living at Delhi?? Cottages, Orpington and working as a Railway Gate Keeper,
Its show Joseph aged 8 months

1901 - Showing Annie Rowe aged 13 and Jane Rowe aged 45, living in Hayes Middlesex. All the information is correct as to where they were born, location ect.

They seem to have a servant named Catherine A Knight aged 19 born in Bayswater, London.

Also where is the other children? did little Joseph die as he can clearly be seen on the 1891 census aged 8 months? I cant believe that if the other children had not moved on or die they would not be with their mother.

I found a census from 1901 showing Ernest Rowe aged 16 born in Orpington, Kent in 1885, a Visitor, living in Holy Trinity???? in London

Joseph married Jane Hearn (1856) born in Padworth, Berkshire on 4th September 1883 in the District of Bromley
They had 4 children
Frederick Samuel Rowe born 1880 in St Marys Cray, Orpington, Kent
Joseph Rowe born 1890/1 in Orpington, Kent

William Rowe (1852)

William Rowe born 1852 in Chalgrave/Tebworth, Bedfordshire

1st son of Samuel and Rebecca Rowe
Baptised: 13th March 1853 in Battlesden, Bedfordshire

Census:
1861 - William aged 8 years old and living at Row of Cottages No. 4
1871 - William aged 19 years old and working as an Agricultral Labourer, not sure of the address here.
1881 - William aged 28 years old and working as a Gardener underm? living at Brickhill Road Lodge, Battlesden. Annie works as a Straw Plaitter aged 25, Alice is only 2.
1911 - William aged 57 and living in Leigton Buzzard (shows his birth date to be 1854)????

William married Annie Maria Turney (1856) on 29th July 1878 in Hockcliffe, Bedfordshire
2 children were born
1st child Alice Rowe (1879) born in Hockcliffe
2nd child Minnie Rowe (1885) born in Hockcliffe

As much as I look I cant find anything for William or Annie for the 1891 census records, apart from the possible William in the 1911 census, BUT his age is wrong and I aint paying nearly £7 to view something that maynot be him..yet anyway.

Amendments to Sophey Rowe (1826)

My first post using the email, I've been talking to my cousin regarding Sophey Rowe. It seems she went on to marry John Merridale in Battlesden on 18th August 1847
It's also possible that Sophey Rowe and Hannah Rowe are not children of Joseph and Elizabeth Row, hopefully we will get to the bottom of this.
Thanks to Marion for this information.

Married Rebecca Cheney (1832 - 1912?) 1st October 1851 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, England

Sophey Rowe (1826)

1841 Census

Sophey Rowe born 1826 in Wing, Buckinghamshire

2nd daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Row

1841 Census (shown in picture above)

Aged 15 (located on right page, 11th line down) , you can also see on the 7th line down on the same page

Elizabeth Row aged 45, William Garner aged 70?, John Garner aged 20, Hannah Garner aged 20 and finally what looks like Samuel Row aged 12.

So far no other information has been found (by me at least)

This seems to be the year Joseph Row died and maybe Elizabeth moved into the Garner house?

The family name still seems to be Row.

NOTE: #1
I've found a census record from 1871 that includes this information -
Living at 126 Workhouse Lane, Leighton Buzzard
Jesse Rowe aged 30 (head, labourer)
Sophia Rowe aged 44 (wife, plaiter?) showing born in Wing, Buckinghamshire, abt 1827
David Heley aged 20 (Son) showing born in Wing, Buckinghamshire 1851
Henry ? Heley aged 18 (daughter) showing born in Wing, Buckinghamshire 1853
Ann J Heley aged 16 (daughter)
Susan R Heley aged 6 (daughter)

NOTE: #2
Another census, this time from 1891, that follows Jesse Rowe and Sophia Rowe
Showing again born in Wing, Buckinghamshire this time abt 1828.
Now living in the Bromley St.Leonards area of London.
The address looks to be 97 Marner Street, and we have Jesse aged 61 and still a labourer, and Sohpia aged 63.
They also seem to have a border living in the same address, who's aged 30 and a washerwoman.

A few things that stand out are the obvious name she gives, if in fact this is Sophey Rowe, looking at the writing it does clearly show the name written as Sophia, but with the birth place and birth date you gotta wonder if this is here. Also the age she give on the 1871 census, 14 years older than her husband? Why also does the children have the Heley surname and not Rowe? Math don't add up do they. I thought it was worth putting this here, if there is any evidence that proves otherwise then it stays.

Hannah Rowe (1819)

1851 Census

Hannah Rowe born 1819 in Wing, Buckinghamshire

First daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Row, Hannah married William Garner (1817, Battlesden, Bedfordshire) on 25th Nov 1838 in Battlesden, Bedfordshire.
Hannah's marriage certificate states father as Joseph Row (info from Marion)

They has 2 children, Ruth Elizabeth (1841) and George (1841)

I've found a Census from 1851 with this information (click to see picture above)
Hannah Garner (nee Rowe) aged 32
William Garner - 32 (agricultural labourer)
Hannah Garner - 32
Ruth Garner - 9 (Straw Plaiter)
George Garner - 4
Elizabeth Rowe - 61 (Hannah's mother is listed here as Mother-In-Law and a pauper)
The house number is 74, not sure what house or street yet.

Also the name has changed from Row, her father to Rowe, anyone have any ideas?
